Fabian, son of painter, Max Fabian, was born in Berlin. A Jewish artist, he left for England in 1938. He turned to graphic design in 1950 and worked as a poster and book jacket designer. Here, the avid newspaper reader is actually a pillar in the industrial community; a smokestack wearing a hat. The image is notable for its strong, immediately readable execution. Miroir 87.
